But these were restrained by the chiefs, who oppoSed the violent proceeding and who had come to the determin- ation to give Omatlzt a trial, acetird- ing to the laws and customs of their nation. N0 notice was taken of me ; and I was left free to loitei‘ about, and watch their proceedings, ifl pleased.“ ' The council soon perforn'ied its duty. The treason of Oinntla was too well known to require much can- vassing; and, of course, he was . found guilty. and condemned to ex- piate the crime with his life. The sentence was pronounced in the hearing of all present. The traitor must do. The vote was immediately taken. All knew of the vow made by One- ~ola. His followers were desirous he should keep it; and on this acâ€" .count, he \vas unanimously elected to do the deed. I'Ie accepted the ,office. . Knife in hand. Oceoln approached the captive, now cowering in his ,bonds. All gathered around to wit- ,ness the fatal stab. Moved by an impulse [could not resist, I drew peer with the rest. We saw the arm upraised, and ,the blow given, but there was no woundâ€"no blood! The blade had ,descended upon the thongs that .bound the captive, and Omatla stood forth free from his fastenings! There was a murmur ofdisappro- bation. W but could Oceola mean? “Did he design that Ornatla should ,eseape'l the trniter condemned by the councileâ€"by: all l ‘ But it’was soon perceived he had ,no such intentionâ€"far different was his design.

There were many who, indignant at .Ohmaltla’s treason, and still wild with “the excitement produced by the late ,ctinflict, would have butchered him in his bonds. But all saw that Oce- ,,ola,was determined- to act as he had proposed ; and no opposition was ,offered. . ' ‘ One of the warriors, stepping for- ward, handed his weapons to the condemned chiefâ€"only his toma- hawk and knife, for so Oceola was himself armed.

Almost at the first blow, Oceola struck the hatchet from his antagon- ist’s hand, and With another stroke, rapidly following, felled Omatla to the earth. Fora moment the victor was seen bending over his fallen adversary, with his long knife unsheathed, and glittering ill the moonlitrht. When he rose erect, the steel had lost its sheen-â€"it was dimmed with crimson blood.

It was not long before I was re- lieved from my apprehensions. As soon as the affair with Onnitla was ended, Oceola approached, and in a friendly manner stretched out his hand, which I was only too happy to receive in friendship. He expressed regret that I had been wounde and made captive by his lt'lCll-ficxplultlefl the mistake ; and then calling one of his followers, ordered him to guide me brick to the fort.

On one of these festal-diiys, he had previded a sumptuous dinnerâ€"â€" no one about the fort so capableâ€"to which the officers were invitedâ€"the comn'iissioner himself being the hon- ored guest. The banquet Was set out in the sutler’s own house, which. as al- ready mentioned, stood outside the stockade, several hundred yards off, and nearer to the edge ofthe woods. The dinner was over, and most of the officers had returned within the fort, whereâ€"as it was now getting near nightâ€"â€"it was intended that the smoking and wine-drinking should be carried on.

A_BANQUET WiTH A BAD ENpiNe. As by duty bound, I delivered a report of the scene lhad involui’itar- ily been Witness to. It produced a lively excitement within the fort, and an echdition was instantly or- dered forth, with myself to act as guide. A bit ofsheei' folly. The search proved bootless, as any one might have pi‘Ophesiel. Of Course, we found the place, and the bodies’of those who had fallei’iâ€"upon which the wolves had already been raven- ingâ€"but we discovered no living In- diansvâ€"not even the path by which they had retreated l ' The death ofOiiiatla was the most Serious incident that had yet occur- ed ; at all events, the most import- ant in its bearings. By the whites, Utilitiltt had been constituted king: by killing. the Indians showed their contempt for the authority that had' crowned him, :is well as their deter- mination to resist all interference of the kind. But the incident had its most im- portant beariifgs upon the Indians, especially upon Oi'ntitla’s own peo- fif< plc. Terrified by the exntnple,‘nnd dreading lest similar retribution might be extended to themselves many of Omatla’s tribeâ€"sub-chiefs and warriorsâ€"forsook their alliance, and enrolled themselves in the ranks of the patriots. Other clans that had hitherto remained undeci ed, acting under similar motives, now declared their allegiance to the na- tional will, and took up arms with- out further hesitation. , The death of Omatla, besides be- i ing an act of stern justice, was a stroke of fine policy On the part of the hostile Indians. It proved the genius of him who had conceived and carried it into eitecution. Omatla was the first victim of Oceola’s vow of vengence. Soon after appeared the second. It was not long before the tragedy of the traitor’s death was eclipsed by on- other, for more thrilling and signifi- cant. One of the chief actors'in this drama disappears from the stage. On our arrival at the fort. it was pidly running short. No provision had been made for so large a body of troops, and no supplies could posâ€" sibly reach Fort King for a long. period of time. , The days passed tamely enoughi -â€"whole weeks of them. An oc-t casional visit to Camp Drane was a relief to the monotony of garrison- life, but this was a rare occurrence. The fort had been shorn of itsl strength, and was too weak for us to go much beyond its walls. It was well known that the Indians were in arms. Traces of their presence had been observed near the post ; and a hunting excursion, or even a roman- tic saunter in the neighboring woods â€"the usual resources of a frontier stationâ€"could not have been made without some peril. - upon the floor dead, each with many adventures, I re-eiitercd the dinner. I was among those who went back within the fort. , ' We "had scarcely settled down in our seats, when we were startled by a volley of sharp cracks, which the our well knew to be the reports of rifles. At the some instant was heard that wild intonation, easily distinguished from the shouting of civilised menâ€"~thc warâ€"cry of the Indians l ’ We needed no messenger to in- form us what the noises meant : the enemy was upon the ground, and had made an" attackâ€"ave fancied upon the fort itself.‘ We rushed into the open air, each arming himself as best he could. Once outside, we saw that the fort was not assailed; but upon looking over the the stockade, we perceived that the house: of the sutâ€" ler was surrounded by a crowd of savages, plumcd and painted in full fighting costume. They were in quick motion, rushing from point to point, brandishing their weapons, and yelling the Yo-lio-e/tee. Struggling shots was still heard as the fatal gun was pointed at some victim ei'idcavoring to escape. The gates of the fort were standing wide open, and soldiers who had been strolling outside, now rushed throuin uttering shouts of terror as they passed in. .

It extended only to the house of the sutler, where a belt was made, while we contemplated the horrid scene. The seller himself, two officers, several soldiers and civilians, lay wounds. Conspicuous above all was the corpse of the commissioner. He was lying upon his back, his face covered with gore, and his uniform torn and bloody. Sixteen bullets had been fired into his body ; and a wound more terrible than all was observed over the left breast. It was the gash made by a knife, whose blade had passed through theheart. I could have guessed who gave that wound, even without the living testimony that was offered on the rendered more sad by a rumor that shortly after reached Fort King. It was the rumor of an event, which has since become popularly known as ‘ Dude’s massacre.’ The report was brought by an Indian i‘um1er-â€"-belonging to one of the friendly clansâ€"â€"but the state- tncnis made were of so startling a vep W character, that they were at first received with a cry of incredulity. bution. Immediately after its oc- currence, several expresses had been despntchod by different routes to Camp Droneâ€"some of which fell into the hands of the enetny, while the rest arrived safely with the news. By daybreak of the following morning the army, more titan a thousand strong, was in motion ; and marching towards the Amazura. The avowed object ofthis expedition was to strike a blow at the families of the hostile Indiansâ€"their fathers and tnothers, their wives, sisters and childrenâ€"~whose lurking-place the fastnesses of the great swampâ€"«the ‘Cove’-â€"had becotne known to the general. It was intended that they should be captured, if possible. and held as hostages until ,the warriors could be induced to surrender. \Vith all others who could be spared from the fort, I was ordered to accompany the expedition, and accordingly joined it upon the march From the talk I heard around me,‘l soon discovered the sentiments ofthe soldiery. They had but little thought Exasperated by what had taken place at the fort â€"â€"furthcr exasperated by what they calied ‘ Dude’s ninssaci'e,’ I felt sa- tisfied that they would not stay to take prisoners,â€"old men or young men, women or children. all would alike be slain ; n0 quarter would be iven. I was sick at the prospect of such at wholesale carnage as was antici- pated. Anticipated, I say, for all confidently believed it would take place. The hiding-place of these unfortunate families had become known, there were guides conduct- ing us thither who knew the very spot, now could we fail to reach it ? But the day before, our expedi- tion would have appeared easy enough, a more exciting frolic, with- out peril ofany kind; but the news of Dude’s defeat had produced a magical effect upon the spirits of the soldiers, and whilst it exasperated, it had also cowed them. For the first time, they began to feel somc~ thing like respect for their foe. . it D About mid-day We reached the to“ banks of the Amazura. The stream had to be crossed before the Cove could be reached, for the vast net- Woi‘k of’swamps and lagoons hearing this name extended from the op- posite side.

It was with a feeling of positivegrelief, almost of'joy, that I heard that wild war-cry breaking through the woods, the well-known Yo-ho-chee of the Seminoles. Along with it came the ,ringing detonations of rifles, the louder re- port of musketry; while bullets, histling through the air, and break- ing branches from the surrounding trees, told ps that we were assailed in earnest, and by a large force of the enemy.

Accordingly, on the day after her arrival a servant duly made his appearance at the appointâ€" ed hour, bearing on a silver salver a carafe and two glasses, which he ltendered to the Sovereign, who de- ‘ciitted the refreshment with a wave of the hand.
